[news.eclipse.birt] Re: birt report as print preview on desktop app

Andreas,

I am not certain what you mean by preview, but the BIRT designer uses a 
preview that is not server based.  The designer is an Eclipse 
application that makes use of the BIRT viewer plugin, which uses jetty 
internally to run.
